ICloud Control Panel Only Syncing One Way

I have been looking for a way to sync my information across my Outlook (exchange) calendar on work PC and iPhone 5. Came across the iCloud Control Panel and it seems to be a great solution. I installed it on the work PC and got all the iCloud calendars to show up on Outlook, but the Outlook calendar doesn't show up on my iPhone or on iCloud. Any ideas/troubleshooting tips for making the sync go both ways?
If I add a calendar event to my iCloud calendar using Outlook it shows up on my iPhone, but the Outlook calendar is not an option that I can select/view at all on iCal.

I signed out and deleted iCloud on both devices. I shut them down and restarted. Neither the iPad or the iPhone will accept my password in the Software Updates.
I can re-set up iCloud with my password and purchase Apps on both devices. It just will not accept the Software Update. I look forward to your ideas.

Have you tried using icloud?
How to set up iCloud on all your devices
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Trying to download icloud control panel - only getting so far. Got message: The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at ltr time, pls run again.

First time on here... so not sure if doing correctly.
I'm tryng to download icloud control panel to my PC (have Windows 7 - so should be ok). I only get so far - 2 times I've tried it. Keep getting message:
The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
huh?

As I mentioned before you need to start the iTunes installation, then do NOT allow it to complete. In other words go all the way to the point that the installer extract the installation files, then STOP right there.
Now look for the temp folder and the files I mentioned in my initial posting. If you don't find the temp folder it may be because you have "Do not show hidden files and folder" selected under "View Tab" in the "Folder Options". You may need to unselec it. If you don't know about hidden files and folders in Windows XP take a look here: http://txpress.blogspot.com/2007/05/show-hidden-filesfolders-in-windows.html
Another possibility is that you may have a different path for your temp folders. To find out where you temp folders are located please do the following:
- Right click on "my computer"
- Select the "Advanced" tab
- Click on "Environment Variables"
Then look for the path for both variables "TEMP" and "TMP" take note of the path and check them out.
Or you may just go to a DOS Prompt and type the following commands:
1 - %temp% and hit enter
2 - %tmp% and hit enter
to both of these commands you will get a reply such as:
'c:\temp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bath files.
So by looking at the reply you can see that my temp folder is c:\temp
The above is the temp folder on my machine which I've customized to my own use. Your machine may be different.
I suggest you check for the iTunes temp folder inside both your temp folders locations "TEMP" and "TMP" as they may be in different locations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you allow the iTunes installation to complete you will NOT SEE the iTunes temp folder and files because it will be deleted as soon as iTunes processes the installation.
Hope it helps.

ICloud control panel not syncing with outlook 2013

I have installed iCloud on windows 7 64-bit. after installation it asked if I want to sync with outlook my mail , contacts etc. so I selected the option to sync and clicked apply.
The program said that it needs to setup mail, contacts etc with outlook 2013 and the loading gif started to work , then I click on close .
when I open outlook 2013 i do not see my icloud folder or contacts .
am I missing something here?
PS. I tried to uninstall and re install icloud control panel with the same effect.
Kindly can anyone help

In Outlook 2013, I navigated to "People" and copied the contacts that I wanted to sync from the "Contacts" folder to the "Search Results" folder (<ctrl>+[drag and drop] to folder in left hand Folder pane).
iTunes then synchronised those contacts (only) fine.

Two computers, but icloud is only syncing one way

I have a desktop and a laptop. Both with MacOX 10.7.2    Both have cloud turned on with the same Apple ID. Both have calendar and address book syncing selected.   On both machines Calendar and Address Book have icloud accounts set up in the preferences.
The laptop's one address book entry made it to the cloud, and then made it back down to the desktop.
The desktop's 200 address book entries have gone nowhere.   Not in the cloud, and not to the laptop.
If I add a new address to the laptop,it instantly goes to the cloud and down to the desktop (it is impressive    If I add a new address to the desktop, it goes nowhere.
Same behavior in the calendar
Not sure what else to check. I can't see any way to 'push' data up.   Software update shows everythign is up to date.   checking icloud.com I can only see the one laptop address.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Always, the second after I post a question....
On the desktop I signed out of icloud and signed back in. That was enough to kick the cloud to re-sync everything and both computers seem to be talking now.   (yah yah, should have tried that too before posting).   have to admit - signing out of the cloud was scary - lots of warnings that "I'll delete cloud-only things from this computer".   ouch.

ML 10.8.1 Calender only syncing one-way

Okay, so the problem is that my Mac Calendar is not syncing its events to iCloud. However, it does work the other way around.
My e-mail and contacts synchronization is working just fine.
So:
Event made on Mac Calendar -> iCloud / iPhone / iPad does NOT work
Event made on iCloud.com / iPhone / iPad -> Mac Calendar DOES work
Troubleshooting I’ve done (and please read carefully):
*Verified that I’m not accidently writing in a local calendar on the Mac
*Verified that I’m not out of space; I have 21,81 GB available
*Verified I’m really looking to the correct date & time
*Created a new, empty, calendar to test with; no solution
*Hit the Sync button manually a thousand times
*Passwords are correct and even changed them, just to be sure
*A fresh install without restoring any back-ups. After letting iCloud sync, the problem still persists!
So once again: Even on a clean install of Mountain Lion with only iCloud logged in, the problem is still not solved.
Events created on the Mac calendar are not syncing to iCloud.
When I look into the Console, I see several error messages, which are not recognized by Google nor do I know what it exactly means.
An example:
31-08-12 19:02:04,251 CalendarAgent[3467]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.queue] [This change request has been materialized into a queueable operation before.

    sourceUID = nil;
    type = 21;
})]. First materialized date: [2012-08-31 07:27:19 +0000]. Existing error: [(null)]]
I'm using a MacBook pro 7,1 with a legit version of Mountain Lion.
What sorcery is this?

I can confirm it probably has to do with my account.
I've just removed all shared calendars, and on the new account with my gf's iCloud everything works smoothly.
I've also removed all shares of my own calendar, leaving only my personal calendar. However, it still does not work.
So your suggestion is to now export all calendars, then remove all calendars, and then test with new calendars?
But what do I do if it's still not working then? Because then I have no calendar data on my devices, and then I'll probably die because I'd even forget to breathe without my agenda.

Calendar only Syncs one way

I recently made large changes to my iCal involving my whole schedule, and when I connected my iPhone I expected that it would sync so that my phone would now match my computer, but my computer keeps insisting that my computer's iCal be changed to match my phone. Where are the controls to the change this?
It might be a stupid question, but an annoying situation nonetheless.

One thing that might help.
When you connect the iphone, click on the info tab.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page on the info tab and there are check boxes to replace the data on the iphone.
Hope this helps.

My phone only syncs one way

Merry Christmas! When I enter a new contact in my address book on my imac it reaches my phone no problem but when I enter a new contact on my iPhone 4 it never gets back to my computer. Curious huh?

iPhone->Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Calendars->Default Calendar = your gmail account
I do the same for Notes so they sync to Gmail.
I hope Google will have a Notes app or just some way to be able to create and edit notes through them and sync back the iPhone

Razr- only syncs one way

Hi there. My boyfriend got a Razr and he was able to iSync his Address Book perfectly fine. The iCal part did not show up in his Calendar on his V3 Razr though... I did a test, added an entry on the Razr, then synched up. Oddly enough, what I added on the phone ended up as a new event in iCal, but the events I've added in his iCal will not show up on the Razr.
Anyone know what the heck is going on here??? Please help. Thanks.

It's difficult to say what precisely is happening, as a number of factors may be affecting transfer of data from the truth database to your mobile handset and to iCal.
Which specific RAZR V3 is this - a GSM V3, a V3c, a V3i or V3x? And who is the wireless carrier providing the handset?
What happens generally with the synchronization of calendaring data is this: information flows not directly between your device and iCal, but rather though an intermediate file known as the truth database, or simply the truth.
Motorola RAZR V3 <==> the truth <==> iCal
If you are interested in a more comprehensive explanation, you can find one in this Apple Developer note concerning the Sync Services framework:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
To reset the truth, launch iCal and select Reset Sync History… from the Preferences… dialog. Follow the instructions there and you will be afforded what appears to be an initial synchronization event, in which you will be asked if you want to Replace the data on your mobile handset or Merge data with it. Select Replace to overwrite the data. Subsequent synchronization should work as expected—with data transfered in both directions—without additional problems.

Lack of options in iCloud control panel compared to MobileMe Control panel, so now what happens if there is a conflict of data (Cloud vs Computer)?

Back then when we were syncing with MobileME, the control panel allows us to decide what to do when there is a conflit of data in the cloud vs the information on our computer. We were given the option of Replacing information in Me with information on the computer or vice versa, but now we do not have any of these options. And currently when i sync my computer with icloud, i dont know if the information (Contacts, Bookmarks) will be replaced with the current informaiton on the iCloud (transfered from MobileMe) or they will merge (if they merge then i would have double of contacts,bookmarks??) or the information in the iCloud would be replaced?
If we had more options in the control panel of iCloud, then things can be simplier. However, with the current iCloud control panel, we have no way of knowing what happens when there is a conflict and we won't know what action the iCloud would take for the conflict of information.
So currently i still dont know if my Favourites (Bookmarks) will be replaced or not.
Does anyone know if we can wipe out the info on iCloud and replace it with the data (Contacts, bookmark, calendars etc) on our computer?

This is what I did...not ideal but seems to work for right now till iCloud actually syncs contacts into Outlook 2010 (PC/Win 7) like Mobile Me used to. I opened the contacts in the iCloud contact address boxes in Outlook. I selected all contacts by selecting one and then Ctrl-A (selects all), then Ctrl-C (copies all). Then I went into the Outlook Contact folder which is blank from iCloud "stealing" all my contacts and in that empty box I hit Ctrl-V to past all contacts in. I am now able to use my contacts when emailing in Outlook.
Of course, any changes I make to my iPhone contact list or via iCloud will only sync back to the iCloud contacts lists in Outlook (and not Outlook's main calendar) so occassionally I'm thinking I'll need to go back and do this all again either figuring out a way to only copy new contacts over, or going into Outlook Contacts and deleting all of those, going back to Outlook iCloud contacts (which are syncing but not communicating with other aspects of Outlook like mail) and then do the process all over (select all, copy, paste).
Seems silly that contacts can't work the same as they did with Mobile Me but it seems like Apple has a tendancy with everything but their actual iDevices to be screwy when things are working and make things more complicated. I was not looking towards this day as I knew there would be some stupid issue as it seems like it always is that way with their new software rollouts. In fact, I use Outlook 2010 through Parrells still cause their Mac version still won't sync even calendars...at least iCloud is still doing that with Outlook 2010 Windows...though still the same issue as Mobile Me that it doesn't sync with the main calendar...but I can still use it and sync well to the iPhone.

Icloud control panel w Windows 8

I have a new pc laptop with windows 8. Downloading icloud control panel, to sync w iphone and ipad mini, download message says I need Windows Vista w service pack 2 or Windows 7. Can I use Windows 8, or do I need an update, or something before syncing in new pc.

You should be able to sign into your iCloud account using Windows 8 with the latest iCloud control panel for Windows (2.1.2), availalbe here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455. (Notice that Windows 8 is listed under system requirements.)

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook with duplicate contacts. Is there a solution. Is there selective synchronisation available?

Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook. If you do, delete them.
If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again. (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes.

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

Icloud control panel does not install properly but only when trying to sync with Outlook 2010. If I try to sync photos, etc. it works just fine

Downloaded icloud control panel to Win 7. Everything seems ok until you "apply" synching at the icloud control panel. Then you get an error message that says "icloud control panel did not install properly". Repairing in Windows control panel as suggested does not help. If you do not try to sync Outlook data (2010) then it seems to work just fine.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !
